Cornflake Cookies

Cornflake Cookies
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup crushed corn flakes
1/2 cup quick cooking (not instant) oatmeal

Preheat the oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light. Beat in egg and vanilla extract, followed by vegetable oil, mixing until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture until only a few streaks of flour remain visible, then add in the cornflakes and oatmeal and mix until cookie dough is uniform.
Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls (1-inch balls, approx.) onto prepared cookie sheet. Gently flatten each with the prongs of a fork (dipped in water to prevent sticking).
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are light gold all over.
Let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
